About the TP Receivers
The Extron Twisted Pair (TP) receivers receive transmissions of
The TP receivers can only receive and output signals
transmitted by Extron TP transmitters. This user’s manual
documents the installation, features, and operation of the TP
receivers only. For information about the TP transmitters, refer

stereo audio over Extron’s Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or
standard Category (CAT) 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP),
shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP)
cable. The TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV, and TP R AV receivers
are designed for longer transmission distances (200 to 1000 feet)
and the TP R 15HD A is designed for shorter transmission
distances (100 to 800 feet).
Features
The minimum reliable transmission distance for the TP R BNC A,

The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency
and resolution. The following table specifies the recommended
maximum transmission distances using Extron skew-free A/V
UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated with CAT 6, or at
least CAT 5e, rated connectors.
Level control — Allows you to manually control the image
brightness.
Peaking control — Allows you to manually control the image
sharpness.
Extron recommends using the highest quality cable
available and affordable. We also recommend the use of
pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on
site should be tested before use to ensure that they
comply with Category 5e specifications.

Installation and Operation
Installation Overview
All TP transmitters include a 15V external power
supply. The transmitters also receive power from the
associated Extron TP receiver(s) (with the exception of
the TP R 15HD A) via the TP cable. Extron
recommends using the local power supply; however, the
power supply may not be necessary in some applications.
Use the following guidelines:
To install and set up a TP receiver and the associated TP
transmitter(s) for operation, perform the following steps:
Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the
video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the
transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).
1
•
The TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, and
TP T BNC may not require a local power supply for
cable lengths of 300 feet or less.
For component, S-video, or composite video, ensure that
the internal jumpers (TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV) or
external DIP switch (TP R 15HD A) are in the correct
position. See Video jumpers or Video DIP switch in this
chapter.
2
•
•
The TP T AV may not require a local power supply
for cable lengths of 800 feet or less.
The TP T BNC DA4 and any transmitter
connected to a TP R 15HD A always require the
local power supply.
TP R BNC AV and TP R AV only — If desired, configure
the audio jumpers to make the receiver compatible with
unmodified TP transmitters. See Audio jumpers in this
chapter.
3
If problems are encountered, use the local power supply.
The TP R BNC AV and TP R AV are redesigned
(modified) receivers. The audio jumpers configure the
audio portion of the composite video TP link to work
with either similarly redesigned TP T 15HD AV and
TP T AV transmitters or with older, unmodified
transmitters. Redesigned receivers and transmitters
have an identifying label.
Adjust the picture controls on the transmitter(s) and the
receiver. See Controls and Indicators in this chapter and
refer to the TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual, part
#68-546-01.

The receivers are factory configured for RGB video. To
receive any other type of video, reconfigure the jumpers.
Connect the cable(s) between the TP transmitter(s) and the
receiver. See Transmitted signal cabling in this chapter and
refer to the TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual, part
#68-546-01.
Connect the output cables. See Output cabling in this

Cable testing
together; the signal transmitted on the shortest wire pair leads
the other colors and appears to the left on the display.
To ensure proper cable termination, each transmission cable
system that uses CAT 5e should be tested (Extron’s Skew-Free
UTP cable does not need to be tested). Testing the cable from
the RJ-45 connections at the transmitter and receiver gives the
most accurate indications of cable problems.
UTP cable test equipment measures and reports wire pair
length. The report on the various pair lengths can be used in
equalizing pair skew. The nominal velocity of propagation
(NVP — the speed at which the signal travels on the
transmission line, measured as a percentage of the speed of
light) of TP cable is very close to that of conventional coaxial
cable. The similarity in NVP means that an additional length of
coax equal to the length of pair skew, placed on the receiver’s
output, equalizes the effects of pair skew (figure 2-11).
There are two varieties of cable runs: simple runs, in which a
single cable is terminated only at the transmitter and receiver,
and complex runs, which can include patch bays and multiple
terminations and lengths of cable. In either case, the entire
cabling system should be tested.
If UTP cable test measurement cannot be done, pair skew can
still be equalized by viewing a test pattern with a critical eye.
Examine the test pattern for loss of horizontal registration and,
through a process of trial and error, equalize any pair skew with
coax extensions on the red, green, and/or blue outputs.
A complete test measures cable length and tests the wire map,
attenuation, NEXT, PSNEXT, ELFEXT, PSELFEXT, return loss,
ACR and PSACR. All of these tests are critical for digital data
transfer. While all of these tests are important indicators of the
quality of the cable termination, the most critical testing
parameters for video transfer are wire map (T-568-A
termination) and pair length measurements. The largest
concern is equalization of skew between cable pairs. Cable
systems of 300 feet or less should exhibit no transmission
problems if they pass at least CAT 5e or preferably CAT 6-D5
channel certification testing.

The manufacturing process for network (CAT 5e) UTP cable
leads to a condition called pair skew. For best results, pair skew
needs to be equalized when using the CAT 5e cable in A/V
applications. The design of Extron’s skew-free A/V UTP cable
minimizes pair skew to the point that equalization is not
required.

Skew exists between pairs when the physical length of one wire
pair is different from another. As the transmission cable length
increases, the amount of skew increases. Skew affects the
displayed image when the differential length between wire
pairs exceeds 2 feet, causing the timing of the red, green, and
blue video signals to appear out of alignment (horizontal
registration errors). A white vertical line on a black field can
